ABSTRACT
The aims of this study were to (1) determine the feasibility of a home-based resistance exercise training (RET) program in patients with cystic fibrosis and impaired glucose tolerance using virtual personal training and (2) observe the effects completion of the RET program had on glucose metabolism, pulmonary function, body composition, and physical fitness. The feasibility of the program was defined as 80% compliance. Ten participants (15.80 ± 2.20 yr, 25.1 ± 7.4 kg/m2) began a home-based resistance training program consisting of 36 sessions supervised via online videoconferencing. Compliance scores of 78.9% (all participants) and 81.8% (without one outlier) were observed. A significant increase was observed in 2-h C-peptide levels (2.1 ng/mL; p = 0.04), with a moderate decrease in fasting glucose (-5.2 mg/dL; p = 0.11) and a moderate increase in 2-h insulin (35.0 U/mL; p = 0.10). A small decrease in the fat percentage (-1.3%; p = 0.03) was observed in addition to increases in fat-free mass (1.5 kg; p = 0.01) and the fat-free mass index (0.4; p = 0.01). Small, yet statistically significant increases were observed in VÌO2peak (0.1 L/min p = 0.01), VÌCO2peak (0.1 L/min; p = 0.01), and ventilation (5.3 L/min; p = 0.04). Telehealth-based RET is feasible in adolescents with CF and impaired glucose tolerance and elicits small yet favorable changes in insulin secretion, body composition, and exercise capacity.
